Also as you should be able to add the "rel_path=Android" to the command line startup.txt like Civic said many, many pages ago...

I will be testing and reporting back in an hour or so.

I think actually I said it. about 65 pages ago.

OK, now I pretty much am trying to be an ass.

cvasale: To disable automatic backlight control in WinMo, go to Settings -> System -> Power -> Backlight and deselect 'Auto Adjust Backlight'

I don't believe you need to turn off dimming (i.e. 'Turn off backlight if device is not used for x mins')

You are correct. You posted it on page 8 and Civic was page 36. Thanks to both of you for all of the great info.

Let us know... So far, It looks like others have not had much luck with it booting

I hope you have better luck than the others.

It booted up fine for me.
I haven't looked around much, but I downloaded the latest version to check out the memory piece.

The changelog mentions:
Try to take 17MB of SMI bank2 for userland apps. Lowers diam100's 2D pmem to 12MB

I forget to check what I had before.. Can someone who hasn't loaded the latest version htc-msm-android@20100310_213242

check out the amount of free memory.
To be consistent with what I'm comparing to,
Open -- Advanced Task Killer Free
Click on KILL selected apps (with all app checked including Advanced Task Killer Free)
Open is again (the only item there should be Advanced Task Killer Free)
What does it show as the amount of Available Memory (above the "KILL selected apps" button)

Mine shows 90M

Changes to both kernels today are for different devices. There's nothing new here for us TP2 users

But load it if you please. That's the nice part about this whole project - you don't have to wait for a chef to cook up a new build for you; you can do it yourself whenevs you want

when i m on android..and plug the charger in.. it starts rebooting evry 5 to 10 min...anybody having same issue?

[00_MACKIE_00]

I think the new kernel and modules messed something up because now it just wants to reboot. Back to square 1. lol
